I posted in node red forum but it isnt really node red specific. I just need to know if theres a service that can do the following…
At the end of each month, my input_number value gets reset to 0. Before its reset, I’d like to write its current value to a txt file for historical purposes. I searched HA and found something about SHELL commands, but I couldent find definitive examples.
So in my flow, I’d place something to do this between the Big Timer node and the ‘Reset Monthly to 0’ node. I just don’t know what.
